Chiripá (ISO/DIS 639-3: nhd) is a Tupí language spoken in Paraguay, Brazil, and also Argentina. It is closely related to Paraguayan Guaraní, a language which speakers are increasingly switching to. It is called Nhandeva in Brazil. Chiripá is also known as Ñandeva, although in the Paraguayan Chaco Ñandeva means Guaraní. There are 4,900 speakers in Brazil and 7,000 in Paraguay.
